Thanks for the comments. I was hoping for a local collection, only because I prefer doing things face to face, then both of us can make sure we're happy before anything changes hands. I'll probably leave it a few days, but then if no one is interested I'll box it up and be open to shipping it...

I used to have the tablesaw fence, but I sold that separately so this is just the wonder fence.

Originally bought from rutlands. £50, collection from Wokingham

All parts shown below included. Selling because I don't use it much. £180 collection from Wokingham

I'm having a bit of a clear-out. All the tools have only seen light hobby use. All the following collection only from Wokingham (RG40) Multico Morticer - £300 Dewalt DCS777 Flexvolt Mitresaw + 2x Batteries + Charger - £500 Dewalt Flexvolt 54v Grinder - £175 Dewalt 54v HIgh Torque...

If you do want to go the whole hog, Marc Spagnuolo did a great video on torsion boxes: http://www.thewoodwhisperer.com/videos/episode-18-assembly-table-torsion-box/

Cheers lads, I've passed your suggestions on. Nice one :)

Yeah, I did point cost thing out to him, but he wanted a quotes anyway. Sorry if that wasn't clear - he's in Croyden. Alternatively, if anyone knows any local joinery firms that specialise in doors then that would be a big help too.

I friend at work ordered one of these doors: http://www.distinctivedoors.co.uk/products/344-keepers-corner-oak Only to be told that the correct size was out of stock and there was no way they would be able to get one. Trouble is, he's now dead-set on this design, but it's a bit beyond me to...

I also recently bought a SIP 01332, but I decided to get it from yandles instead of rutlands because I thought they would have better customer service. How wrong I was. They gave me a date, I stayed in all day waiting for it and it didn't turn up. When I phoned them, they said "oh yes, the...

No, it's this stuff: As is, it's pretty gloopy, so combine that with my rubbish technique and I was never really happy with it. For the chest, I thinned it 50/50, gave it about 3 coats, cut back, then gave it 2 more coats of 70/30. Each coat was applied with kitchen roll (being careful to...

The plan is actually to build a workbench to house it, but you're right, everything else is looking decidedly shabby by comparison now

Not long! I tidied them especially for the photos, and they could use a good hoover too :)

Right, firstly, apologies for the lack of updates. For some reason, the last bit of a project always goes slowly for me, but anyway, it's finished! After appealing for help on the round forum, Maltrout512 very kindly agreed to turn me the knobs from african blackwood. I have to give him full...

I'm coming to this a little late, but another alternative if you don't have a memory stick handy is to find another machine with cd drive and share it over the network. That way you can just access it from the netbook as though the remote one was it's own.
